SpaceX just launched its latest batch of satellites on Sunday (May 12). It sent 23 more Starlink satellites to orbit from Florida's Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Those Starlinks appear to be doing fine so far; SpaceX previously said that better weather forecasts would be needed to protect the fleet from future solar storm incidents.

Starlink, the satellite arm of Elon Musk’s SpaceX, on Saturday, warned users of a "degraded service" as the biggest geomagnetic storm struck the Earth due to solar activity in a very long time. "Starlink is currently experiencing degraded service.

Sunday's launch was the 49th orbital mission of 2024 already for SpaceX. Thirty-three of this year's 48 launches have been dedicated to building out the Starlink megaconstellation, which currently consists of about 5,900 working satellites.

SpaceX is targeting a Falcon 9 launch of 23 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Florida Sunday night as the Northern Lights are expected to continue beautifying the night sky.

SpaceX is planning to launch a Falcon 9 rocket carrying nearly two dozen Starlink satellites to orbit from the Space Coast Sunday night.

SpaceX launched 23 Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on Sunday night, bringing the total number of Starlink satellites in orbit to just over 6,000.

Major geomagnetic activity has battered Earth’s magnetosphere, pushing Starlink satellites to their limits and causing significant disruptions to navigation and communication networks. Conditions escalated to level 5 on the geomagnetic activity scale,
